No, it uses Rovers K-Series VVC engine, the same that's used in the early Lotus Elises and Caterhams.

BMW318is has more power (140bhp)than the normal BMW318i (115bhp). I owned an MGF VVC for six years and loved it for speed from the lights and agility. Sadly it had to go due 2 x head gasket failures and cam belt falling off at speed killing Cylinder head, pistons, VVC unit, disaster!!

I totally agree with waldyk, that bmw 318i is not anywhere near as quick or agile. Mgf vvc 0-62 mph in 7s, 318is 1.9 is 10.5s or so....

People have put VVc engines into metros/100s Is it the mgf engine??? I have a rover 100 ascot 1997 and dont want to scrap it . Therefore I want to pimp it up withe a bigger engine ,,drop some body wieght etc budget of 6grand
waldyk 16y ago
Don't believe this one can be slower than bmw 318. That BMW is actually 200 kg heavier and , furthermore, it has 115 hp while this MG MGF with VVC has 30 extra HP! Something's really wrong here...
